Life

Goetta was a 1961 sorrel foal, sired by Go Man Go and out of a daughter of Leo named Etta Leo.[2] Her dam was out of a daughter of Band Play, and the third dam descended from Peter McCue[3]

Racing career

Goetta raced for three years, with thirty-one starts. She won twenty-two of her starts, placing second twice and was third twice. The American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) named her the 1964 World Champion Quarter Running Horse, as well as the 1965 Champion Quarter Running Aged Mare and the 1963 Champion Quarter Running Two Year Old Filly. Her total earnings on the track were $233,920.00 and sixty-eight racing points. Besides the Championship titles, she also was a Race Register of Merit earner with an AAAT speed rating, and an AQHA Superior Race Horse.[2] She won the All American Futurity, among other stakes wins.[4]

Breeding record and honors

She produced seven foals, six of whom were race winners with two of those being stakes winners. She died in 1978 giving birth to her seventh foal.[4]

gollark: I think it would make more sense and be less complex if users actually had to send transactions to transfer money, instead of just letting things make them for them and hoping the things can be trusted.
gollark: That also seems bad.
gollark: Oh, and is there a reason for the system where to pay for things online with a credit card, you have to provide information which allows whoever you give it to to make arbitrary transactions (as long as nobody flags it as fraud or something?).
gollark: Presumably it's for authenticating the reader to the bank too.
gollark: You don't need to have the reader thing have a key for that, it could plausibly just use TLS or something.
